MAINTENANCE
Honing the Blade
Push the handle down until the blade 1/8” (3mm) above the
tabletop. Place the provided Honing Stone (J) against the flat
side of the blade. Slide the honing stone from one end of the
blade to the other 3-4 times. This will remove any burrs from
your blade and should be done every 100 cuts. Use caution
when honing the blade. The blade is sharp and can easily cause
injury. Cut resistant gloves are recommended when honing the
blade.
Replacing the Blade
Use cut-resistant gloves when replacing the blade. Cover the
cutting edge with a blade guard or other suitable covering.
Place the shear upside down on a workbench with the jaws in
the open position, creating a gap to allow blade removal. To
remove the blade use a #2 Phillips screwdriver and loosen
the 5 retaining screws one full turn counterclockwise. Do not
remove the screws. When the last screw is loosened, the blade
will slip out of the retaining slot. Cover the cutting edge of the
new blade with a blade guard or other suitable covering. Slide
the new blade into the slot with the beveled edge facing the
screws. Center the blade in the slot and make sure the blade is
fully inserted. Hand-tighten the center screw. Hand-tighten the
remaining screws to complete the installation.
Lubrication
After every 100 cuts, it is recommended that the shear be
lubricated. Use a light oil and grease (wheel bearing grease) and
apply according to the image below. Lubricating the shear will
extend the life of the shear and result in easier cutting.
